PHOT 205 ~ High Dynamic Range

Reproducing the full range of tones or brightness values seen by the human eye is one of the most fundamental challenges in photography. Capture, display and print technologies are all limited when we compare them to the ability of the human eye to see a full range of tones. While it was impossible (even with dodging and burning) to do so before, we can now exceed the range of brightness that the human eye can view at one time. However, when dealing with high dynamic range images and HDR software and techniques,  it’s important to remember there are simpler methods that may perform equally as well.

PHOT 215 ~ Studio/Client Dynamics

In recognition of the March 21st International Day for the Elimination of Racism and Discrimination, the It’s About Community group has partnered with the Applied Photography program and SIAST's English as a Second Language program to create this project.

The photographers are all second year students who, as part of this studio portrait assignment, integrated business practices with creativity in working with their clients to create both memorable and cherished images.

The ESL students you see here have agreed to share some of their journey to SIAST. As you can see, they come from all over the world, and even though transition to another country and language is difficult, all are willing to make new lives for themselves in Canada, their adopted homeland.
